A picture biography which portrays the career of the famous Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung has been shown in Beijing.

The book also reveals details of Maggie Cheung’s divorce from ex-husband Olivier Assayas, saying that their parting was mainly due to their busy and conflicting schedules.

The picture album, by Li Erwei, was sold at the price of 39.8 yuan, or about 5 US dollars, and hit the Chinese market Monday. It includes many photos which have been published for the first time.

Maggie Cheung recently said at the Hawaii Film Festival that she plans to take a break from acting for one year.
